Setting:
Very comfy, chatting at the local cafe spot, enjoying some iced fresh-fruit drinks after you tell your friend: “Oh, isn’t is too warm for April right now to drink hot coffee?!” and then having to give her an apologetic look because you two SWORE to never be the kind of friends that would dress-up judgment with weather talk. You can talk about what you are wearing and what you are drinking, but not why because that just calls for judgment, or so you both said the first year of college (30 years ago?) Besides, you NEVA’ forsake un cafecito even if offered in hell (in that case you just order it ‘frappe to go, gracias.‘) You know she gave you THE look. You raised an eyebrow, muttered something about “30 years should earn me a freaking medal” and you two get a real laugh, a good spot, and a pb&j you saved from lunch.
Here we go…
“And here is the reason I don’t read many thrillers or suspense, and God am I happy it is not a horror novel! I am completely freaking out with this book [half-manicured finger pointed at table] and I just want to know what happens before I keep reading, except that for the very first time in my life I want to be shocked by what is causing all these mysterious things to happen! [by now out of air after this sentence]
Will not spoil if for you, nena, but this woman is the most sane crazy I have known [left index finger pointed up with authority]. I’ve tried reading her with a light and airy voice, but I still was nervous. It was too creepy [fingers moving like shaking off ghosts]. I used a smartass, sarcastic tone to what she was saying and, while I got a really good, very short, [suddenly lower volume for the rest of the sentence] rather inappropriate chuckle at her sudden need to slam her innocent loving children against the wall , there is still this creepy air floating about this otherwise absolutely non-DSM V woman. [I am slowly shaking my head “no” here]. I am using an e-reader and it tells me I am about 57% done. I am DYING [eyes popping]. I am either going to have nightmares or be very disappointed, but the suspense alone right now is worth the reading. [look on my face says nothing can be done].
Of course, a million possible plots come to mind. Some are very obvious and some have me wondering about following a line of work as a P.I. [wink]. In any case mi’ja, I need to get through this book because it is driving me insane. HA! ‘Insane.’ That’s funny.”
